EngineersGarage.comPage : 1/3Different Types of Sensors:-There are fol owing types of sensors1.Temperature Sensors:-This device col ects information about temperature from a source and converts into a form that is understandable by other device or person. The best il ustration of a temperature sensor is mercury in glass thermometer. The mercury in the glass expands and contracts depending on the alterations in temperature. The outside temperature is the source element for the temperature measurement.2. IR Sensor:-This device emits and/or detects infrared radiation to sense a particular phase in the environment. General y, thermal radiation is emitted by al the objects in the infrared spectrum. The infrared sensor detects this type of radiation which is not visible to human eye.3.UV Sensor:-These sensors measure the intensity or power of the incident ultraviolet radiation. This form of electromagnetic radiation has wavelengths longer than x-rays but is stil shorter than visible radiation. An active material known as polycrystal ine diamond is being used for reliable ultraviolet sensing.4.Touch Sensor:-A touch sensor acts as a variable resistor as per the location where it is touched.5.Proximity Sensor:-A proximity sensor detects the presence of objects that are nearly placed without any point of contact. Since there is no contact between the sensors and sensed object and lack of mechanical parts, these sensors have long functional life and high reliability. Read More About :- Electronic Sensors

Temperature Sensors:-This device collects information about
temperature from a source and converts into a form that is understandable
by other device or person. The best illustration of a temperature sensor is
mercury in glass thermometer. The mercury in the glass expands and
contracts depending on the alterations in temperature. The outside
temperature is the source element for the temperature measurement.
